The distinct absence of Lionel Messi and Neymar have irked many supporters and Mbappe issued a statement claiming he loves the club but it’s NOT Kylian Saint-Germain.

'I just took part in the viewing of the club's resubscription campaign for the 23/24 season. At no time was I informed of the content of the interview with my interlocutor. It looked like a basic interview during a club marketing day. I don't agree with this published video. That's why I'm fighting for rights to the individual image. PSG is a big club and a big family but it is especially not Kylian Saint-Germain. Sincerely. Kylian Mbappé'," the PSG superstar said on Instagram.
